reverse sweep of a laser scanner, or the symbol does
not have supplemental characters, the symbol will not be
decoded.
By specifying the supplement, you will not miss the
supplemental characters (unless they are not present).
There are three configurable options:
Symbols with two digit supplemental characters

Symbols with five digit supplemental characters
may be read.

characters may be read.

enabled. This allows you to decode a symbol with or without
supplemental characters.

symbol must be scanned in the forward direction, supplements
last.
If the symbol is scanned in the opposite direction, with the
supplements first, or the scan misses the supplemental
characters, the supplements will not be decoded.
